About Chauncey
Chauncey Chatman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 15 years of clinical experience. He focuses on clear, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, grief, and related issues. Chauncey writes and speaks plainly so parents and individuals can quickly understand next steps.
He uses a mix of talk therapy and mindfulness practices to build self-awareness. Sessions often include exercises to notice patterns, try new ways of responding, and reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Chauncey trained in counseling psychology and holds a Master’s degree from Chapman University. He is licensed in California as an LMFT - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and has worked in hospitals and community mental health clinics.
That background brought experience collaborating with psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and peer counselors. In sessions he blends emotional work with practical skills. That can mean communication practice, strategies for sleep and routine, or mindful breathing and grounding tools.
He also supports people addressing substance use and recovery challenges, using motivational interviewing techniques when helpful. Work is collaborative and goal-focused. Chauncey helps people set small, concrete steps and checks progress each week.
Sessions aim to be understandable, manageable, and directly tied to day-to-day life.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a respectful space where people guide the topics. This approach helps when someone needs to sort feelings and make decisions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes to see what helps; it can be useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and sleep issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Chauncey will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean using mindful exercises some weeks and CBT-style practice other weeks, adapting as progress is made.
Online therapy makes those methods easier to use from different places. Video calls let therapists and clients role-play conversations and watch nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, homework prompts, or brief coaching between sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit sessions into busy schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
